Collector

I took myself to the edge of forever night Almost lost the will to fight Looked into the eyes of hate I was almost to late Heart and body was numb My brain was dumb Exit of life before me Death was all I could see Welcoming that forever night The end was in sight Nothing mattered any more My life should even the score I welcomed the dark Like a walk in the park Just one more day I'd have nothing to say Didn't think I'd make it back Light was turning black At the end my body started to mend Things I had yet to attend Flashed before my eyes Death fed me it's lies I yarned for it's embrace It hid it's face Stealer of soul Am I your goal Steal the light Wasn't going to fight But I stepped out of it's reach Saw the lies it did preach It reached out to collect It's due But before my soul flew I saw again the faces of those I love Standing high above They called me home Before my soul could roam The darkness fought the light One epic fight My soul suspended. Between the two The hate the love grew Both fighting for the right To live in darkness or the light I didn't care which won I just wanted it all done Hate and fear It was always near My eyes opened to the light Thus ended the fight I was allowed to live My soul wasn't mine to give My time may come That might bother some But death was beaten for another day There is nothing left to say
